Practice Areas

Move Aways

Dealing with issues relating to child custody can be stressful, but the situation can become far more complicated when a “move away” is involved. It’s not uncommon for a recently-divorced spouse to relocate as they work to start a new life. But this can necessitate a new child custody arrangement or visitation agreement.

Our Orange County family law attorneys are well-prepared to help you seek a modification to your child custody agreement. In cases involving joint custody, we will present a compelling argument that the move is in your child’s best interest. The elite legal team at Sarieh Law Offices can also assist if the other partner challenges your move or if you require help securing a new child support arrangement.

Division of Assets

At Sarieh Law Offices, our experienced team of Orange County divorce lawyers are ready to assist with each and every aspect of your divorce or separation, including the division of assets, such as real estate, vehicles, finances and other assets.

It is quite common to see a fair amount of disagreement when it comes time to tend to the division of assets. It is important that you are represented by a top attorney who can work to guard your interests while ensuring that you receive your fair share of the assets that you share with your soon to be former spouse.

Child Custody

The issue of child custody is perhaps the most emotional element of the divorce or legal separation process. The family law attorneys with The Sarieh Law Offices are committed to helping you present a compelling argument to the courts as you seek to secure a favorable child custody or visitation arrangement. Child custody also has an impact on your child support payments – another area where we will work to secure a favorable court order.

Additionally, our Orange County family law attorneys are also ready to assist with child custody negotiations through a cooperative mediation process. We are also available if you require help seeking a child custody modification.

Divorce

California is a “no fault divorce” state, meaning that you don’t need to have one party who is to “blame.” Irrevocable deterioration of the marriage is sufficient grounds for a divorce. In California divorces, only one party needs to be in favor of a divorce. Even so, divorces can often be very complex and emotional.

Couples are often tempted to work with a single attorney, but your interests are often in direct conflict, making it impossible for a divorce lawyer to effectively serve both parties. When you retain your own Orange County divorce attorney, you can move forward with confidence knowing that your lawyer will work toward a resolution that is in your best interest.

Our legal team will assist with all aspects of your divorce. We can also assist with summary dissolution divorces, which can be suitable for couples married less than five years, with no children and few assets.

Adoption

Adoption can be a wonderful option for growing your family, but it is not without complexities and potential complications. At Sarieh Law Offices, our family law attorneys are available to assist with a vast range of California adoptions, including stepparent adoptions. We are available to consult with foster parents who are seeking to adopt a foster child, along with individuals who are seeking to adopt a related child, such as a niece, nephew or grandchild.

In cases where the adoptive parents would like to allow visitation for a biological parent, our Orange County family law lawyers can draft comprehensive post-adoption contact agreements. We also offer legal help if you are seeking to terminate the rights of an alleged father or wish to terminate your own parental rights voluntarily.
